“They’ll beat us down there,” Dante says, checking his clip.

Elijah gasps beside me. “Lilah—!”

I look as much as see Myra standing by the closing doorways together with her pistol pointed inside.

I act on intuition, aiming my gun at her and we pull our triggers on the identical time.

My bullet strikes her proper shoulder and he or she stumbles backward because the elevator closes.

I brace myself for ache.

Elijah falls to his knees beside me.

My jaw drops as blood spills down his shirt. “Elijah!”

I grip his arm, however he slips from my grasp. Dante lunges for him and the 2 of us information him right down to the ground.

Elijah rests his again in opposition to the wall with heavy eyes as the colour drains from his face.

Dante lays his hand over Elijah’s coronary heart to place stress on the wound however crimson blood pours from between his fingers.

I examine behind him. “There’s no exit wound…”

Elijah groans and slumps slightly additional down.

“No, no…” I say, cupping his face. “Stick with us, Eli. That is nothing.”

Elijah twitches awake and grabs Dante’s hand. “Get…”

Dante leans in to choose him up. “Elijah, arise.”

I nod. “Come on—”

However Elijah shakes his head and pulls Dante nearer.

“Get her out.”

Dante pauses and stares into his eyes. After just a few seconds, he nods and lets go of Elijah’s hand, letting it fall to his aspect.

“No,” I whisper as my twin closes his eyes. “Elijah? Elijah!”

Dante takes his gun and stands up. “Lilah, we’ve to go.”

“What are you doing?” I ignore the black gap rising in my intestine and shake Elijah once more. “Eli…”

The elevator reaches the foyer and Dante crops himself by the doorways along with his pistol prepared.

Elijah slouches much more. I attempt to pull him again up however gravity weighs heavy on him.

The doorways slide open and Dante leans into the nook to dodge the incoming gunfire from the far aspect of the foyer.

“Lilah, let him go! There’s no time!”

His eyelids don’t transfer.

His chest doesn’t rise or fall.

My coronary heart breaks.
